Myofascial Release Massage Therapists in Delaware (DE)

“Hi, I am Rose Astrid, owner of Angel's Massage. I became a massage therapist because I received a call from God. Massage therapy is a gift bestowed upon me by God, and I believe that He has used my hands as a blessing to many. My excellent reputation and commitment to this field is a testament of my dedication to provide exemplary massage therapy. I believe that touch, whether through massage or other modalities is not only luxury and relaxation, but is an essential pathway for health and healing. My goal is to bring your body back into balance.

“I have been a massage therapist since 1984. I have worked with a variety of clients from expectant mothers, the elderly, the handicapped, and the stressed out executive. I was employed for 18 years by an osteopath, and have worked for several different chiropractors, therefore, I focus on the relationship between the spinal alignment and proper muscle function.

“I am licensed with the State of Delaware and have been nationally certified since 1990. I was the President of the Delaware Chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association. I have taught massage locally and recently traveled across the nation conducting classes on medical massage. I currently teach Managing Stress With Massage seminars to the general public.
My advanced training allows me to utilize many different techniques to help alleviate muscular/skeletal aches and pains, headaches, and other chronic conditions, as well as specialized treatments for post surgery recovery, fibromyalgia, cancer treatments, and anxiety disorders (including PTSD).

“At Angel's Massage and Bodyworks my primary goal is to make you feel renewed and reenergized after any of my customized therapeutic sessions. My clientele include young, old and athletic who is desirous of a therapeutic massage. My great interpersonal and exceptional customer services skills have labeled me as one of Delaware's best massage therapists. In addition my extensive Physical therapy and massage therapy training and a deep understanding of the human body have enabled me to assist you more than any other massage therapists with basic massage training.

“My main focus is Myofascial Release Therapy. MFR is simply the most effective modality of bodywork available. Using a long stretch, low impact approach, I am able to release stiffness and pain that could have been years in the making. Seeing the body as one whole system allows me to see where the true origin of your pains and stiffness truly are. This technique allows me to go deeper that traditional "Deep Tissue" massage without the damaging force and trauma that deep tissue massage often causes. Simply put, this work allows you to feel younger!

“Massage is therapeutic and also happens to be relaxing! Massage compliments traditional medical treatments as well as physical therapy, chiropractic care and acupuncture. Research shows both physical and mental benefits from massage and other types of bodywork. I encourage people to include massage on a regular basis to help reduce stress and improve wellness. Ask about seated massage for your next event or as a benefit in the work place! Massage Therapists can not provide medical examination, diagnosis, or treatment. Massage is not a substitute for medical care, always consult a healthcare professional.
